INSPECTION AND EXAMINATION OF FOOD AND PLACES WHERE
FOOD IS PREPARED.
Food—Inspection of.—Inspector Wilkinson reports that during the year he has
paid 925 visits to the 18 Slaughter Houses now on the register, including one Horse
Slaughter House, and that he has ascertained that 14,378 animals were killed therein,
namely, 736 oxen and cows, 27 calves, 12,395 sheep and lambs, 116 pigs and 1,104 horses
for human consumption, chiefly for export, and none of the latter was consumed within
the Borough. These were mostly found of good quality and free from disease, the few
exceptions are set out in the table on page 39.
